Re: Questions about the echo earbuds

2021-12-30 Thread Joshua Hendrickson
I have no problem letting amazon have access to my phones contacts.  I
can just tell my echo to call anyone from my phone's contacts, and the
call happens easy as you'd want.  Very cool in my opinion.  I'm more
for headphones then bluetooth earbuds, but there are some very
interesting choices out there when it comes to earbuds and what kind
to get.

I am sure you can set them up without giving permission to your contacts, but

Oh I totally agree. I only raised my point because this is your phone, not your

buds if you don't allow access to your contacts for example. i get why they're

I assume they are Bluetooth Earbuds in which yes, you can pair them with your 
iPhone just like any other Bluetooth headset, earpiece or speaker.

What can anyone tell me about the echo earbuds? Amazon is having a special on

I absolutely don't think these are a good idea. Theyw ant way too much 
permission just to be earbuds. They want access to everything you do on your 
phone not just waht you do with the Alexa app. This is partly how the iPhone is 
designed, when it gives permission it gives it across the board. But I don't 
want it recording everything I do on my phone, not that I do anything, but 
still. So I use my regular Airpods to listen to audible books on my phone using

Oh I totally agree. I only raised my point because this is your phone,
not your Amazon device. You can use your Amazon dvices without
allowing them to have access to yhour contacts if you so desire. But
you can't even install these buds if you don't allow access to your
contacts for example. i get why they're doing it, I might be willing,
but it's more invasive than other headphones, that's all. If you're
already using your Amazon device to make phone calls for example,
there'd be no difference and probably convenient to have the phone do
it.

I don’t want to stimulate a privacy rights debate. However, one could argue if 
one already has an Amazon device, your privacy has already been penetrated. It 
is possible to mute the microphone on the earbuds, but then you are sacrificing 
a basic function of the product. Ultimately, people should decide when and how

Subject: Re: Questions about the echo earbuds

I have the Echo Buds and am using them with an iPhone SE 2020. They work well. 
I personally don’t like their bulbous form factor, but this is a highly 
personal preference thing. They work great with Audible and YouTube and general 
article reading. Setting them up was a breeze if you have the Amazon Alexa app 
installed. The whole process was accessible. I have not tried adjusting the EQ, 
but this is one neat little feature you can’t necessarily do with the AirPods.
